He asked his trusted personal armor-bearer to kill him before the Philistines arrived, but out of respect for Saul as YHWH's anointed (hbo yes מָשִׁיחַ māšîaḥ), the armor-bearer refused, so Saul committed suicide.Jones 2007 214 Saul's dishonorable end was followed by a total defeat of his troops, while other Israelites not in battle (suggesting that Saul did not have all Israel behind him) fled from the neighboring areas, leaving their towns and villages for the Philistines to seize. His body met a disrespectful fate: he was beheaded, his armor was taken into the local temple of Astarte—the chief goddess of Beit She'an (hbo yes none בֵּית שָׁן bêt šān)—and his body was hanged on the wall of Beit She'an for public display. (1 Chronicles 10:10 states that his head was fastened to the temple of Dagon).1 Chronicles 10:10 HEJones 2007 214Evans 2018 300 Verse 2 Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.1 Samuel 31:2 NKJV Abinadab is called "Ishvi" (hbo yes none אִישׁוִי ʾîšwî) in 1 Samuel 14:49.1 Samuel 14:49 HEBenson, Joseph, Commentary on the Old and New Testaments: 1 Samuel 31, accessed 9 July 2019 Verse 4 Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.1 Samuel 31:4 NKJV "Abuse" also meaning "torture".Note on 1 Samuel 31:4 in NKJV Jabesh-gilead's tribute to Saul (31:11–13) thumb|Jabesh-Gileadites recover the bodies of Saul and his sons, Gustave Doré The men of Jabesh-Gilead (hbo yes none יָבֵשׁ גִּלְעָד yāvēš gilʿāḏ), remembering Saul's action on their behalf (1 Samuel 11:1–13),1 Samuel 11:1–13 HE came to take the bodies of Saul and his sons for cremation and burial, a more honorable treatment than that of the Philistines to the bodies of Saul and his sons.Jones 2007 214Evans 2018 300 Verses 12–13 12All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there. 13And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.1 Samuel 31:12–13 KJV1 Chronicles 10:12 The brave action of the men, marching from Jabesh-Gilead to Beit She'an and back—about 13 mi one way—recalls the high point of Saul's leadership at the beginning of his reign when he saved the people of Jabesh-Gilead from foreign attacks (1 Samuel 11).Evans 2018 302 See also 22em Abinadab Ashtaroth Circumcision in cultures and religions Fasting Israelites Jonathan (1 Samuel) Melchishua Philistines Suicide Related Bible parts: 1 Samuel 28, 1 Samuel 29, 2 Samuel 1, 1 Chronicles 10 Notes References Sources Commentaries on Samuel Auld Graeme 1 & 2 Samuel https://books.google.com/books?id=2Vo-11umIZQC&pg=PA213 James D.
